Original super sole cleaner

ABSTRACT

The Original Super Sole Cleaner is a proprietary manifold that can be used along with any standard boot brush. The The Original Super Sole Cleaner benefits are that it removes debris by shooting columns of water at engineered angles under the sole of the shoe or boot &amp; into the side brushes of a typical boot brush. The Original Super Sole Cleaner is simply connected to a standard garden hose and positioned under the boot brush with retaining screws. Turning the faucet on introduces water through the manifold allowing debris to efficiently be rinsed from the soles &amp; sides of boots &amp; shoes, and eliminates buildup of mud &amp; dirt in the boot brush.

BACKGROUND FIELD OF INVENTION

Cleaning of Muddy Boots.

I have many times looked at standard boot cleaning brushes but never bought one because they plug up with mud when you try to clean mud off of boots. One day after working outside in the mud, I had an idea of making a tube with water jets in it to mount under a boot cleaning brush. The idea that with the proper number of holes of the correct diameter, placed at correct angles would provide the correct water flow to wash the mud out of the sole of the boot as well as keep the brushes of the boot cleaner brush clean. I purchased a boot brush and experimented with different manifolds to find the optimum angles, orifice sizes and number of orifices needed to make this work efficiently. After several months of experimentation, the right combination functioned the way I had envisioned. The result is the Original Super Sole Cleaner. It was originally designed to work in conjunction with boot brush model SB-M1, made by Chaseburg Mfg. & modified with rubber splash guards, by Greely Mfg. The Original Super Sole Cleaner is simply mounted under a boot cleaning brush and provides effective cleaning of the soles of boot and shoe soles while keeping the brushes of the boot cleaning brush free of mud & dirt.

The manufacturing of The Original Super Sole Cleaner is done by injection molding the manifold, to the specifications of drawings or 3D CAD file of the The Original Super Sole Cleaner. Location of the orifices as seen in drawing Number 1000.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

The Original Super Sole Cleaner assembly, is designed to improve the usefulness & work in conjunction with the “Scrusher” boot cleaner made by Chaseburg Mfg. The Original Super Sole Cleaner assembly, is to be mounted under the “Scrusher” to a grating, deck, porch or other hard surface, where a standard garden hose is attached to the hose fitting on The Original Super Sole Cleaner assembly. By turning water hose on, mud & other debris can easily be cleaned from Boots before entering any type of building or vehicle The design of the The Original Super Sole Cleaner provides cleaning of the soles of boots & shoes it also keeps the brushes of the “Scrusher” free of mud & dirt, which is a great improvement to the “Scrusher”.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The The Original Super Sole Cleaner assembly is designed to improve the usefulness & work in conjunction with the “Scrusher” boot cleaner made by Chaseburg Mfg. The Original Super Sole Cleaner assembly, is to be mounted under the “Scrusher” to a grating, deck, porch or other hard surface, outdoors where a standard garden hose is attached to the hose fitting on The Original Super Sole Cleaner assembly. By turning water hose on, mud & other debris can easily be cleaned from Boots before entering any type of building or vehicle. The design of The Original Super Sole Cleaner provides cleaning of the soles of boots & shoes it also keeps the brushes of the “Scrusher” free of mud & dirt, which is a great improvement to the “Scrusher”. The manufacturing of the The Original Super Sole Cleaner is done by plastic injection molding to the specifications of drawings or 3D CAD file of the The Original Super Sole Cleaner.

Using The Original Super Sole Cleaner; Mount The Original Super Sole Cleaner assembly & the “Scrusher” to a grate, deck, porch or other hard surface, attach a standard garden hose to the hose fitting on The Original Super Sole Cleaner, open water faucet all the way, sweep foot with dirty boot forward & backward in The Original Super Sole Cleaner, turn toe & heel into side brushes until mud is removed & boot is clean. Turn off water faucet when done.

SUMMARY, RAMIFICATIONS & SCOPE

The Original Super Sole Cleaner is a useful cleaning apparatus for anyone who works or plays outdoors in muddy, grassy or sandy conditions. 

1. I claim my invention of the Original Super Sole Cleaner incorporates a proprietary manifold which allows water to effectively exit at angles and of appropriate flows to efficiently rinse debris from boots, shoes, and brushes, while eliminating excess spray of water on the user. The Original Super Sole Cleaner uses normal residential or well water pressure. It is used in conjunction with standard boot brushes, mounted directly beneath the brush frame. The engineered manifold design improves the effectiveness of industry standard boot brushes, making it an ideal addition in applications where washing of debris from boot and shoe soles are needed.
